    This part of the article i found very interesting :laugh:

     

     

     

    And then came Seven of Nine.

     

    While many Trekkers have been busy celebrating Seven's...er...physical attributes, right from the beginning I had my fingers and toes crossed that now, with a strong, intelligent woman who needs a guide more than a mother, someone outside the formal command structure, and someone who also takes no crap, finally we could have someone female that Janeway could interact with as an equal. At last, I hoped, we could have two women doing things on the screen without worrying about men, and without finding ourselves in the middle of a "woman's moment."

     

    And even though Janeway has been nurturing Seven whenever she could, lately I've been getting my wish.

     

    Some people are complaining that Janeway's authority is being challenged in a way the male captains have never had to put up with. I myself have disliked Chakotay for disobeying her orders.

     

    But I'm beginning to have faith in Janeway's ability to be right in the end no matter who in the crew has a problem with her. Whatever challenge Seven presents, Janeway's up to it, and in the meantime...oh, such great scenes between the two of them!

     

    Seven admires Janeway and wants to please her, but she doesn't respect the captain's rank -- why should she? -- and thinks in true Borg fashion that she knows what's best for everyone else. Janeway admires Seven too, and has tried to give her leeway and understanding while exploiting her Borg knowledge. But a captain can't have someone running around with the powers of an officer who won't obey orders. For both of them, the needs of the ship outweigh personal feelings.

     

    In fact, they're alike in many ways: smart, strong, stubborn, independent, well-meaning but possessed of tempers and unafraid of a fight. In other words, their animosity comes believably from their personalities, and presents real, not convenient, friction.

     

    But best of all, their relationship is important to the ship and the show. This isn't some side-bar, Plot-B concern, but the impetus for plot lines and thematic commentary in a way we've only seen on Trek before in male friendships.

     

    And what friendships they are! Kirk and Spock and McCoy. Picard and Data. Picard and Riker. Picard and Q. Data and LaForge. Odo and Quark. Bashir and O'Brien. Bashir and Garak. Paris and Kim. Paris and Tuvok. Even Tuvok and Neelix.

     

    And now, at last, Janeway and Seven.

     

    Of course, this may not last. Seven may suddenly burst into tears and receive absolution from Mama Janeway. Or they could retreat to cold formality. Or Voyager could get canceled because it turns out that even in 1998 America isn't interested in watching a show where a grown woman talks to another grown woman.

     

    But while it lasts, I'm in heaven!

    Haggis is a kind of stuff black pudding eaten by the Scots and considered by them to be not only a delicacy but fit for human consumption. The minced heart, liver and lungs of a sheep, calf or other animal's inner organs are mixed with oatmeal, sealed and boiled in maw in the sheep's intestinal stomach-bag and... [Excuse me a minute.]

    After dinner the men went outside for a smoke and Chrissy and Becka cleaned up the kitchen.

    Lida was sitting like a zombie in her chair, her face was pale and her eyes where a little red swolen.

    Chrissy went to her and said "Now listen girl, you look a little tired to me, you go striad to bed and get some rest, Becka me and kate will finish here." Chrissy walked to a cuboard and opened it she takes out a small bottle.

    "Here" as she poors out from the bottle in to a little glass "drink this, it is made out of herbes and it will relax you" Lida takes a sip of it and starts to chough" oohh thats strong!!"

    Chrissy started to grin "hmmm yes i know, but it works, now go to the laundryroom, ILS has made you a hot bath, you will have the room for you alone for 1,5 hours, after that you will go to bed and rest, we will wake you tomorrow when lunche is served.

     

    Lida went upstairs into the bathroom and saw a hot steaming bath for her alone.

     

    Chrissy went outside to the men"OKEY YOU GUYS GET YOU BUTTS INSIDEHERE!!!"

    They all turned around in a little shock and saw Chrissy standing in the doorway

    "Yes all of yo now inside!!"

    ILS came down the stairs and saw his wife holdoing a speeche to the all the men,

    "uho there she goes" he thought, he turned slowly around to get upstairs again without being seen "AND THAT GOES FOR YOU ALSO ILS!!" Chrissy yelled as she saw him crawling upstairs again.

    "w..what hunny??" ILS said

    "ALL OFF YOU GUYS ARE GETTING A BUCKET WITH WATER AND I WANT TO SEE THIS HOUSE CLEEN IN 2 HOURS, THAT MEANS SCRUBBING THE FLOOR, DUSTING, AND CLEANING ALL THE WINDOWS."

    "AND YOU NIK, YOU MAKE SURE THE WINDOW ARE CLEANE FROM THE OUTSIDE,IT WERE YOURE ELFES WHO THROUGH FOOD AGAINST IT. (silence)

    Becka and Kate looked at Chrissy :)

     

    Chrissy turned to them and said in a soft voice " Lets bring the children to bed, and after that we will make a nice evening walk, we have to get dressed warm becouse it is a little chilly outside but if we come back the house will be clean" she turns to the men and said "CLEAN AS IN TIDY AND NEAT"
